* Program to compute ASL of difference of means using naive moving block bootstrap
* and dummy-variable regressions with HAC-corrected standard errors
* for statistical detrending procedures showing consistent improvement.

* This program: Uses 1966-1997 vs. 1998-2006 sample, RMSE-based NSRs,
* and looks at Hodrick-Prescott gaps
